[opensuse-buildservice] Thoughts about moving OBS code to Github
Hello everyone, several OBS developers are currently thinking about moving our code from Gitorious to Github. During the last months, Gitorious showed many stability issues (including today, when they lost SSH keys). We believe that Github has countless advantages: * The URL is shorter * Has way better availability * E-mail notifications actually work * Requests can be merged in the browser * Better support for server-side commit hooks * Half of the openSUSE project (that used to be on Gitorious) is already there * OBS is there too (mirrored only): https://github.com/openSUSE/Open-Build- Service * It is actively developed To be complete, Gitorious also has advantages: * It's free software It should be mentioned that we (as in adrian, coolo and me) don't care at all about the latter point as Github is really Open Source friendly. However, if you see issues in the above proposal please speak up, otherwise we may simply move in the next days. Gitorious will either be dropped completely or remain as a read-only mirror... -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Sascha Peilicke

Since I don't touch the code base my opinion doesn't count, but just wanted to mention that I've really liked using github and to be honest I think the interface is much faster and nicer to look at (IMHO).

I'm more of a user than a developer; I've submitted a couple of ideas/patches, but certainly nothing to the main repository. In my view, gitorious and github are hosting services. I appreciate that gitorious is open-source, and like the fact they provide competition to github. If gitorious isn't doing the job the developers need, then it's time to move on to something that does. I'm a believer that "he who codes, decides." And I'll support the developer's decision either way. -- Troy Telford -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

I also support moving to Github. Several times i had issues while committing on Gitourious related with ssh-keys, even though everything seemed fine, (really annoying). Just my two-cents. -- Metin Akdere
